Hey @Edward Zachary Samperio, have you called each municipality involved to double check the regs?

Should I set up an LLC, open checking account in business, and use this for collecting rent and paying morgage/expenses?

But others may use it as a way to allow investors to "taste" their offerings before writing bigger checks, or playing the game like Nike (sponsor the college teams to build brand loyalty when the player goes pro).  

If you haven’t checked in with yours yet, now is the time!

Hey AudreyHere's a list of things you should look for in your investment properties...Start by assessing the property’s curb appeal and exterior condition, checking the roof for damage and foundation for cracks or moisture.
